The Declaration of Independence, a sacred USA treatise from the country's founding, proclaims all citizens have unalienable rights to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."  But what is the pursuit of happiness?  Benjamin Franklin, one of the document's authors, is rumored to have said, "the government shall provide the right to pursue happiness, but it is up to the individual to catch it." Join in as Anahata explores the top five ways to pursue happiness according to various mental health and wellness experts, as well as her own and clients' experiences.  As always, there are recommendations of crystals and stones that will support our topic.

The torrid current of stress flows through most every day lives.  It keeps us in a fight or flight response and robs us of our energy and health. Why have we formed such an attachment to it?   How do we keep stress at a distance while navigating careers, families, commuting, volunteer activities, extra course work, and other obligations? Anahata provides us with guidance and clarity around action, mindset and the ready-fire-aim kind of knee-jerk response that just makes it more difficult.   Tune in to get recommendations for gracefully handling stress and protecting yourself from the aftershock of burnout.  As always, crystals and stones play a part in our self care practices and provide a way to cope that complements every other recommendation out there for handling stress and anxiety.  Join the discussion!

If your home environment feels stuck, or not as vibrant as you're used to it being, chances are you need more than a new rug or paint on the walls, you need to get those dirty crystals clean!

Who hasn't ever been late to a meeting and needed the bend time?  What is the capacity for human potential? Are you ready to discover your own hidden power? In this episode, Anahata talks with quantum business coach Derek Loudermilk, who has extensively researched telepathy, telekinesis, time bending, remote viewing, energy healing and other practices over the last five years in his quest to learn 100 metaphysical techniques.

If you curious about your own capacity for expansion - and perhaps getting those extra 10 minutes - have a listen!

When it rains, it pours.  We've all been there.  We're looking forward to an event that's been planned for weeks or even a lunch date when life intervenes to postpone or even cancel it altogether.  How we respond to these sudden changes to our much anticipated plans can be a good teaching moment for ourselves.  Join Anahata as she explores how emotional attachments to outcomes often keep us from experiencing even better situations. Taken from her own immediate life experience, you will find humor and life hacks to keeping things in the flow.

Tune in for Inspiration to escape the prison of fear and experience true joy!

Who wants more joy in your life?  It sounds great, doesn't it?  But it's not easy to capture joy, let alone keep it going for any length of time.  Feeling fear is way easier to manage.  Most of us have some type of fear program running on autopilot in the background at all times.  We're not even conscious of how many times fear-based thoughts run through our minds in any given day. What if there was a way to take fear off autopilot and use it more selectively?  Perhaps that would free up space to feel more joy, gratitude, peace, serenity. Could we have joy on autopilot instead?  It takes work. In this episode, Anahata explores the mulitude of options and choices we can make to shift ourselves away from the fear-based emotions and energy that keep us locked in fight or flight responses.  As usual, Anahata ends with recommending a stone or two that can help support your intention.

What does justice and equity mean?  How is it defined?  When we see injustice and unfairness in our world, how are we called to respond to it?  In this episode, Anahata explores this highly charged subject from the perspective of chosen soul contracts and the ultimate goal of unity.  Human experience and the free will that accompanies it can twist up even the highest ideals. How do we respond to a feeling to act, when imposing our will on others - even for the highest good - can alter the path a soul has chosen to experience in this lifetime? How do we hold space for the highest good in the face of the oppression?  Come place your energy into the discussion as we look to shift the frame from separateness to unity. As always, Anahata will suggest appropriate stones for supporting our efforts to define justice and equity for ourselves.
